pointer to template problem

[verbal]

Hi,
I wrote a template for a double linked list and i try to dynamically allocate an array where each element is a list from that template, but when i try to insert an element i get a compilation error and i don't understand the reason for getting this.
Here's the code:

template array definition:

List <gift> *buckets;

inserting the element:

gift * newGift;
...
...
buckets[pos].insertNode (*newGift);

element insertion code

template <class contain> 
int List<contain>::insertNode (contain &element)
{
  ListNode  <contain> *temp, *newNode;
  
  // if first element allocate first pointer.
  if (!size) {
    list = new ListNode <contain> (element);
    lastNode = list;
    return ++size;
  }
  
  //else traverse the list and insert element at the end.
  temp = list;
  while (temp -> getNext())
    temp = temp -> getNext();
  
    
  //if memory allocation error return 0
  if (!(newNode = new ListNode <contain> (element))) return 0;
  
  temp -> setNext (newNode);
  lastNode = newNode;
  return ++size; // else return the size of the list
}

and compiler error:

list.cpp: In member function ‘int List<contain>::insertNode(contain&) [with contain = gift]’:
santa.cpp:41:   instantiated from here
list.cpp:48: error: could not convert ‘temp->ListNode<contain>::getNext [with contain = gift]()’ to ‘bool’
list.cpp:49: error: cannot convert ‘ListNode<gift>’ to ‘ListNode<gift>*’ in assignment

If any additional information is needed please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
